Emma Roberts Cast in Adaptation of Anya’s Ghost

Posted on: March 12th, 2018

America Horror Story and Scream Queens star Emma Roberts has been cast in the upcoming adaptation of the graphic novel Anya’s Ghost. The story has an intriguing premise and follows a girl called Anya who discovers a ghost in an underground cave.

The ghost, called Emily, will be played by Roberts and Anya is yet to be cast.

The film is described as a supernatural comedy, so don’t expect to be terrified out of your skin, but do expect a darkly comic tone as the appearance of Emily does come with circumstances that threaten Anya, her friends and her family.

Dan Mazer (I Give it a Year) will direct the film which is based on Vera Brosgol’s novel and a script written by A Monster Calls’ Patrick Ness. When speaking about the film, producer Jeremy Bolt said:“Patrick is so passionate about the source material, and his screenplay is fresh and distinctive. We love Dan’s vision to make a classic high school comedy with a supernatural twist.”

Anya’s Ghost is currently in development, so look out for a release date soon.
